Some of the best oceanic content on the platform. I grew up watching videos like this when we would visit the Florida Keys every summer. My brother and I would watch for hours and eat blackened fish sandwiches. Thank you for sharing.
I bet back then the reef was more vibrant and the marine life was more abundant. I still find the area way better to dive than most dive sites in the US and better than a lot of popular dive sites around the world.
I appreciate the efforts that went into filming and post production. Top quality. Thanks. We went out today with Sea Dwellers but didn’t see near the life you guys did.
The footage is from more than 8 different dives. So, depending on which dive site you go to, you may see less in some places than others. The Aquarium is a site that we enjoy a lot as it has a lot of marine life. Snapper ledge is another one where you can see some schools. But yes, there was a dive we did where we saw very little life. Thanks for your feedback. I am glad you appreciated it.
@@antonioprado8068 The Dive Operation called a certain dive site the Aquarium. I believe it's on the Molasses Reef. It was shallow, crystal clear, and rich in marine life. That was one of the only two sites where we saw a Goliath grouper. I have never used those cards or maps to locate dive sites. It's mainly wherever the captain decides to go.
@Karim Lounes appreciate all that. And I've been sharing your videos with friends. Also did you happen to see people fishing in the area or is that restricted to diving only
The visuals were stunning and breathtaking, capturing the vibrant colors and diverse marine life that can be found in the waters of Key Largo. The video also showcased the various diving spots and dive sites in the area, providing useful information for anyone who is interested in exploring this fascinating underwater world. The narrative was clear and concise, providing valuable insights into the different types of marine life that can be found in Key Largo, as well as the challenges and rewards of diving in this unique environment. The narration was also supported by impressive footage that provided a vivid representation of the underwater world. Overall, I highly recommend the Key Largo diving video to anyone who is interested in exploring the wonders of the ocean. The production quality, visuals, and narrative all come together to provide a truly immersive and unforgettable experience
Great decision. I am certain that you will enjoy it. I hope that you subscribed to the channel. You will get updates on other dive sites in the future! Thanks again.
Went their last weekend with Rainbow reef dive center. Amazing how clear the water was and the sea life that was their. Definitely my best dive so far..
Thanks for your good words. I am glad you like it. I will appreciate if you subscribed to the channel so you can receive notifications when I post videos of my future trips. Thanks again.

We are thinking about booking a charter on Sea Dwellers next week after seeing your video. What package did you sign up for? They have two tank, two trip or three trip? Also what reefs do they hit.
Hi, when it comes to trips, we usually try to get an average of 12 dives during those 5 to 6 days. If the weather is good, and no dives are cancelled, we usually get 3 days with 4 dives per day: 2 tank trips. If they offer a night dive, then we join that as well whenever it is offered. 4 dives per day will be exhausting. I recommend you get 2 tank trips: (1st day 2 morning dives), (2nd day: 2 afternoon dives so you can get enough rest), (3rd day either morning of afternoon) and keep adding as weather permits. When it comes to dive sites, that all depends on the shop, and the captain. Some dive sites are not accessible to Sea Dwellers, but they partner with other local dive operations to take you there. If you want to do the Spiegel grove, Sea Dwellers can hook you up as well, but you need to tell them. The ride to the other dive sites they have access to is usually decided in the moments before the boat leaves. The crew need to make calls, check on the swells, the currents on the different dive sites, the visibility, the divers' level of training, availability of mooring lines and whatever other criteria the captain considers. Hope this helps.
Wow, 0 hard corals What a shame. I dove there as far back as 40 years ago. There were walls of Florida Acropora (now instinct) and brain corals as large as a small car, now all you see is their skeletons on the floor. Not caused by global warming, but by untreated sewage from the Florida Keys and from Phosphates and nitrates from the fertilizers used by the sugar cane industry and for our pretty green lawns. Most important. It can be changed back.
I'm so glad you mentioned the true cause of the devistation in the keys! Unfortunately the political environment is the hardest obstacle to overcome. The coral will return if we stop forcing residents in the keys to use city sewer.
global warming is also contributing to the keys reef decline. the keys have experienced massive coral bleaches in the past few years due to the water getting to hot during the summer months including this year 2023 leading to coral death. I live in Miami and ive been diving here all year round for about 20 years and its very sad having to witness the destruction of these reef year after year with no sign of getting better.
I am going to Molasses reef in a couple days. This video really helped me learn about the fish and wildlife on the reefs. Thanks!
Thanks for leaving a comment. Glad it was useful to you.

This is so well done, love it!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed it.
I dove on Molasses back in the seventies and have great memories of that incredible time as a teenager.

Great Video!

@@KarimLounesDiving which aquarium reef are you talking about. Can't find it on my navionic chartplotter

Thank you for the nice comments. I am glad you enjoyed it.
I really enjoy the soft music and the narration telling us what the different fish and animals are.
Agreed! He is so pleasant.
Love it! Going to dive here after seeing this!
Great decision. I am certain that you will enjoy it. I hope that you subscribed to the channel. You will get updates on other dive sites in the future! Thanks again.
Awesome video!

Will be planning our dives for Memorial day weekend. It would be great to RV there and stay get about 4 dives in.
Love your videos. The peaceful music, all the info. You share. The narration, pace, footage. Perfect!
Thanks for your good words. I am glad you like it. I will appreciate if you subscribed to the channel so you can receive notifications when I post videos of my future trips. Thanks again.
Looks a lot like what we saw in the Bahamas. Thanks for posting this. My wife and I will probably dive Key Largo later this year after Philippines.
Can you elaborate on the equipment you used to create this great video?
GoPro Hero Black 7.
Underwater housing for the GoPro.
Backscatter filters.

Thank you for the quick reply and all the videos you share
What is that at around 47:10? It's not a stonefish/scorpionfish. Is it a sculpin of some kind?
I am not sure exactly, but it seems to either be a Coral Scorpionfish or some kind of Barbfish. Let's see if others cqn help identify it.
Beautiful video!
amazing! You just earned another subscriber :)
Thank you

Yes, very helpful. Your vids are amazing. They have a professional feel to them, above and beyond any armature videos we have seen.

The biggest coral barrier reef in the American Continent is the one in Central America.

It pains me to see the loss of coral.
